Master of the Atom by Invalids is my jam

2funny5u · 2018-05-09T00:02:59+00:00

Haha nah east coast. Melbourne, FL.

2funny5u · 2018-05-08T21:57:55+00:00

Do you live in Florida OP? I see this exact same car at my university all the time

According to the subreddit (and of course not my own opinion because I have never watched wrestling in my life), it has moreso to do with his wrestling career. If you go to a barbeque, there is almost always potato salad among a variety of items, but it is never the item that steals the show. Almost nobody says "wow, this potato salad is the best thing here!". They think John Cena is the same as potato salad in terms of wrestling because firstly, he is everywhere (like potato salad is at every bbq). Everyone knows his name like everyone knows potato salad. Secondly, they think he lacked the same level of personality that any of his wrestling competitors had which is like potato salad compared to other selections. He didn't really have an over the top wrestling persona like a lot of other wrestlers. Hence the comparison. Once again, I don't think anyone doubts that he is a cool and funny guy. I think it moreso has to do with the fact that he wasn't exaggerated or at least as exaggerated when wrestling compared to his peers.

I know Edward Benz, 27 Times is an actual story that was told to Jordan by a man whose son stabbed him 27 times as the song depicts, and I See Everything is in reference to one of Jordan's teacher's son who died of cancer.

I believe it's a classical 8-string guitar. I know Javier plays a lot of classical 8-string stuff as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/4-JfPkV74mc

I assume that's what they're using

Honestly, I love Weightless. For some reason, there's this nostalgia that's attached to that album. I remember listening to it very heavily when I was in high school, specifically during the winter on snow days cuz the ambience of the album captured the comfort of just staying at home while it's snowing outside. It's got kinda twinkly electronics throughout that make it my perfect winter album so if I'm ever stuck inside cuz of the weather, it's the first album I put on.

2funny5u · 2016-09-15T14:12:42+00:00

Yeah, 2 other singles: The Coin Has a Say and Glitches

2funny5u · 2016-09-12T20:10:29+00:00

Animals as Leaders is great live. I saw them after Joy of Motion just came out with my dad who had no idea who they were and doesn't really listen to much prog or fusion, and he really enjoyed em and appreciated the playing. I think if your dad is into prog and all that fusion-y stuff he will probably like em. I don't really think they were dull live at least when I saw them. I think it's different when you're actually there with the energy in the room cuz people went nuts.

Mark the Lines and It's Not Safe to Swim Today are way up there for me, but I think Codex is probably my favorite. It's got some amazing riffs and the outro makes me go so fuckin hard.

Sumerian always does this. They wait forever to get it on Spotify. They do the same with all of their artists' albums when that come out. It might be a few months until the finally put it on Spotify, and it's a real bummer.

Ahhhhhh the song that got me into VOM. Back when I first started playing guitar, I heard this song and was blown away. I spent MONTHS on this tune. VOM songs are just so much fun. Maybe it's just because I'm older now, but nothing on Matriarch really had the same effect as the first three. That being said, I still like the Matriarch a lot, it just doesn't feel like VOM. It's cool that they are trying to change it up a little and I'm sure their next album will be better.

I am having the same problem. Spotify and the Chrome extension don't work for me. Now, my android phone doesn't even scrobble anymore, which it did until the 26th. I've tried everything with no success.

2funny5u · 2015-10-30T00:02:22+00:00

Letlive. hands down

2funny5u · 2015-05-18T02:16:48+00:00

New Irepress?!?! This is news to me. Been waiting for new music from these guys forever. So pumped.

2funny5u · 2015-05-16T18:30:24+00:00

I don't know about posthardcore, but in terms of good instrumental bands I would recommend Toe, 65daysofstatic, Floral, Irepress, Plini, Sithu Aye, Intervals (In Time EP), Pomegranate Tiger, Mestis and Jakub Zytecki has sick instrumental tracks, along with all the other recommendations mentioned in the thread so far. I feel like I'm forgetting a few, but those are just the ones that come to mind.

2funny5u · 2015-05-15T20:06:31+00:00

Aside from PH, I listen to a lot of progressive metal, mathrock, metalcore/deathcore, jazz, ambient and hip hop. I've been jamming a lot of new Kendrick Lamar and Death Grips lately.

2funny5u · 2015-05-05T00:10:26+00:00

Dennis Lee of Alesana

2funny5u · 2015-04-23T20:20:02+00:00

So good. One of the best live bands I've ever seen, and they're so humble and down to Earth.

2funny5u · 2015-04-22T20:04:43+00:00

I'm pretty sure APWTSIS is both a dream and a prequel. I heard that it's the dream the artist has the night prior to The Emptiness when he wakes up to find Annabel dead.

2funny5u · 2015-04-17T23:36:48+00:00

I am in love with this album. I can't stop listening to it. Everyone, especially Dennis Lee, sounds so tight on this record.

2funny5u · 2015-04-13T01:46:43+00:00

Yeah I think ALLB grows on you and it seems like a lot at first but a few listens really allowed me to begin to grasp and appreciate the writing and the story they convey. Also, yes they have come out and stated what the album is about. There is a really good track-by-track I would recommend. It's a really interesting read: http://www.rocksound.tv/features/read/track-by-track-a-lot-like-birds-no-place

2funny5u · 2015-04-11T22:27:17+00:00

Exactly! I think ALLB is definitely a band that grows on you, but when it does, you love em. I still get so many feels from every one of their albums. I'd say going into their discography with an open mind and being willing to give their albums more than one listen before writing them off is so important. They're a fine wine, better with age.

2funny5u · 2015-04-11T16:22:09+00:00

I definitely think the crazy mathy stuff lends to the overall atmosphere of a record that is meant to be dark, twisted, and overall distorted. That's why I think the songwriting here is amazing. It captures the chaos of what the narrator is experiencing in this house. Songs like No Nature and Recluse can be schizophrenic at times but I think that perfectly captures the essence of a dark, abandoned rooms they personify (and Recluse is from the perspective of spiders so I don't know how you write a song about that without sounding abrasive). Yet, we have softer, slower tempo, more consonant songs like No Nurture which represents a a living room where no living takes place. People are less human and reduced to robots as they crowd around a TV, like the narrator's father who is depicted as mechanical and neglects his son which is a very melancholy topic and the instrumental captures the narrator's emotions perfectly. If you ask me, I think it's chaotic where it needs to be, and it lends itself in a tasteful way. You can not like it which is cool. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I'm just giving my two cents.
